Monday, June 4 - Izzy

Today was our first day of school.  Michi had her Latin exam so her friends took me to school with Jill and Clarah. I spent first class with them, and then all of us Americans met so we could get a tour of the school.  Before the tour we met with the Principal, he was very funny.  Then Frau Schafer gave us a tour of the school.  The school has a beach volleyball court, which we clearly need at Bettendorf.  They also have an outdoor classroom, which is awesome!

After finishing the tour we looked for Jill but we couldn't find her.  Sebastian, which is Peter's partner, took us to his sport class (PE).  We watched them play hockey, Clarah played and dominated the game!  After hockey they played dodge ball and asked if we wanted to play.  I was in a dress but I played anyway.  Gareth, Zoe, Peter, Clarah and I all jumped in the game.  They only play with 2 balls!  After throwing the ball the guys in the class kept handing me the dodge balls because I could get people out.  After sport, we found Jill and finished out the day with her.  We went to English class where we got to relax our brains, and then French class.  The teacher for French also taught English, so she gave us an English crossword puzzled.  We sucked at it - we only knew half of the answers.

After school we all met down at the "world famous" ice cream shop.  It was so good! We then met the mayor of Blieskastel and she was really cool.  Its definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity here and we all love being here so much.

The photo below is of Spaghetti Eis - its ice cream that is passed through a press to make it look like noodles and then it goes on whipped cream, then covered in strawberry sauce and shaved white chocolate so it looks like a plate of spaghetti!
